Match Thread Home v Hartlepool Tues 19 Oct @ 19.45pm (Also on ifollow)

yep, think its because sky hasn't picked any l2 fixtures.

hopeful of a win here, it is needed. counting the days till Angol comes back...

 

All midweek games are on iFollow.

It's only the Saturday 3pm kick offs that aren't on iFollow, as there's a ban on showing live coverage during those times, unless there is an international break.

 

I've paid my £10 and hope it's as good as the last Tuesday league match on I-follow.

 

I won't be watching it, cos I will be there. At the coal face.

 

Hartlepool have ex City loanees Luke Hendrie and Mark Cullen in their squad. Gary Liddle is out injured.

 

Hartlepool come with away form that demands only one thing.....

 

You know exactly what that means. Time & time again we succumb to teams who cant buy an away win

Last time out they managed just 5 attempts and 1 on target, i would settle for more of that from 'Pools.
Looks like they go three at the back so City should be used to this by now.
Feeling City should take all three points but if Ridehalgh is missing and a few others not at their best then it could be a struggle.

 

Adams needs to start winning games and earning his contract, Past records mean nothing he needs to earn his corn here and show he can manage the team and game, He will not have a better chance than against Hartlepool.

 

I remember in the 90s when Swansea rolled up without an away win or even a goal, it was about 3 months into the season, and lo and behold they hit us for 6 in a remarkable game which if memory serves me well ended City 4 Swans 6.

 

John Williams...

Ian Banks....

 

Yes I was there as well-we were absolutely shocking that day. Same with Man City some years earlier-hadn't won away in like 18 months and rock up to VP and turned us over.

 

Was that the 4-2 midweek defeat?

 

Yes that's the one.

 

The flying postman

 

If I recall correctly, that same day, luch time to be exact, John Williams was recognised as the fastest player in football on Grandstand, maybe football focus (or whatever it was called them days).

Thus the nickname quoted (I assume he was a postie).

 

It's a sorry, actually make that an embarrassing, state of affairs to think we might struggle against Hartlepool because our left back is injured

 

Agreed. Needs to start putting a winning run together now.

No excuses.
